vox Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I see what you mean. It was an assumption made because I thought the land round there belonged to Pisgah House originally, and was later split up. We need got an earlier map from before the surrounding roads were built.

vox Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 From a quick search around, Pisgah House is the oldest listed residence in Broomhill. The gate house was clearly at the entrance to Etruria House, next door, in 1903. My assumption was that the land was part of Pisgah before Etruria was built. I don't know how I came up with that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History dude Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The oldest gatehose in Sheffield still standing has to be the Turret House on the Manor Lodge site, which was built around 1574. You can still the remians of where the gatepost used to be on the middle on one side of the house. The other side simply had a wall joined on. The gatepost "gap" can be seen in this picture: The grate below covers the remains of a well that wasn't sunk till much later and was used as part of the farm house (as a drinking water supply) that was built onto the side of the Turret House many years after the site was no longer used as a luxury residence.

Not 100% sure, could be Jordanthope House or Jordanthope Farm. c.1924. c.1938 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeadFarmer Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Not 100% sure, could be Jordanthope House or Jordanthope Farm. c.1924.jpg c.1924. c.1938.jpg c.1938 Jordanthorpe House presumably. Jordanthorpe Farm was Fracis Chantreys birthplace and was only ever a simple farm house as far as I know. I live next to Cinderhill Lane and never realised that the fish pond shown on your map behind Jordanthorpe House is still there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
